KrytenMr Llewellyn churns out a lot of pro-electric car propagandaarticles via his Twitter, youtube etc etc.. for a long while he ran a series of video interviews with people conducted while driving around in a Tesla. Some were interesting, some were chock full of climate change bollards and not a lot of interesting content ;)

Well as this is a BBC report it will be an unbiased and balanced account with absolutely zero climate change agenda at all within it.

*Sits back and grabs popcorn* ;D

Must be either 6 music or Radio three that commissioned it in that case ::)

It'll be interesting to see if they can do it though.  :)

The only issue I see is the battery temperature following each rapid charge.  In theory it is possible due to every Welcome Break now having the 125A rapid chargers.

Last week I went from Camberley to Mod Corsham and then to Warminster before returning back to Camberley without issues.

"Man uses car to do what people in cars have been doing for decades, but with the pollution happening a few tens of miles away - a bit like a really long exhaust pipe"

Fixed it for you. ;D

Does the lifetime battery warranty include 'competition use' just in case you fry it :-\
